Balance on the Slopes

Balancing on your Skis is not the only thing you should be concentrating on the slopes this season.  Cold air, reduced humidity and wind can leave our precious lips cracked, chapped and sore.  Make sure you pukka up and protect yours with a good lip complex, this will not only keep your lips hydrated and free of fine lines but also plump them up ready for Aprés Ski.  I recommend the Balancing Lip Enhancement complex from the Ormedic range by Image Skincare as a perfect peptide partner on the slopes.

The Nutritionist

I would like to introduce you to Kim Pearson. Kim really knows how to help us achieve optimum nutrition in our daily lives. Holding regular clinics in Chelsea, Knightsbridge and St John's Wood, London. Kim's areas of speciality are fat reduction, skin health and anti-ageing. Kim has a practical approach and believes in de-mystifying healthy eating, making it straightforward and enjoyable for everyone. Why not contact Kim and discover the benefits of good nutrition.  

Kim has kindly provided a couple of her top nutrition tips for 2016

Sugar is not only bad news for your waistline, it also speeds up the rate at which the skin ages through a process called glycation. Switch from eating high sugar fruits like grapes and bananas to berries, use stevia or xylitol as a sugar substitute and watch out for hidden sugars in sauces and dressings.

Dry skin can be a sign of Omega 3 deficiency. There are few good sources of Omega 3 and many of us don’t eat enough. To boost your Omega 3 levels increase your consumption of oily fish as well as walnuts and flax seeds. It’s also a good idea to take a high quality fish oil supplement daily.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Brush Maintenance 

Start the year as you mean to go on, clean your Makeup up brushes, this will remove bacteria and prevent breakouts. Clean your brushes by first wetting them thoroughly with warm water and rubbing them gently onto a bar of antibacterial soap, rinse and squeeze them out gently with your fingers, and lay them on a clean towel to dry. 

 
 
 
 

In the Press 

I recently featured in both The Guradian and Sunday Mail with my skin tips for 2016.  Here they are again in case you missed it.

1.    Quality Sleep – “No one can under-estimate the impact of a good night’s sleep. It’s when the body produces the most growth hormone, which aids in cell and tissue repair. While you sleep, your body also makes new collagen, the protein that keeps skin strong and elastic. If you’re having difficulty in getting the recommended 8 hours, try to avoid consuming heavy rich foods 2 hours before bed, unwind with a relaxing bath and put a few drops of essential oils on your pillow.”

2.    Work with a facialist – “I like to think a regular visit to a facialist is essential maintenance. If you want to maintain healthy skin, you should invest in yourself. A good facialist will individually tailor treatments and adapt your skincare regime at each visit. This is important as our skin condition changes on a regular basis. The highly concentrated ingredients and methods included in skin rejuvenation treatments from a professional will stimulate collagen synthesis, refine pores, nourish and hydrate as well as smooth lines and wrinkles.

3.    Primed and ready - Always apply a cosmeceutical facial primer before makeup application such as the Lisa Franklin Pro-Effect Luminescent Base, this is fundamental for a flawless complexion, will lock in your skincare and prolong your makeup.

4.    Don’t Stress! - Stress triggers a hormone in our bodies called cortisol which slows down the renewal of skin cells making your skin look dull. Prolonged cortisol production can also lead to the loss of elastin and collagen which results in the sagging of skin and loss of elasticity. Try practising deep breathing techniques and yoga in particularly stressful periods.”

5.    Exercise – “Find an exercise that you truly enjoy and you will be much more likely to stick to it regularly. Whether your exercise of choice is yoga, ballet or boxing; exercise is one of the best ways to nourish and revitalise tired skin cells. An increased heart rate increases circulation and your skin receives a large dose of oxygenated blood which will in turn boost detoxification and cell renewal which is what makes your skin glow!”

6.    Feed The Skin From Within – “What you put on your plate is just as important as what you put on your skin. Everything we consume becomes a part of our inner being and therefore optimum nutrition is so important for our complexion.  Eat a diet rich in leafy greens, vitamins c, good fats such as avocados and nuts, selenium and vitamin E and your skin will truly reap the rewards. I also recommend SKINADE; a natural fruit flavoured anti-ageing collagen drink containing a plethora of active ingredients that boosts your body's natural production of collagen and hyaluronic acid.”

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Dorset 

I visited Family back in Dorset over the Festive Season.  

Dorset is such a lovely part of the country and you must visit, especially if you have never been before.  Growing up in Dorset I always felt very lucky to have such beautiful places on my doorstep. Over half the county is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty and three-quarters of the coastline is a world heritage site. 

Particular favourites of mine are Durdle Door, a natural limestone arch, part of the Jurassic coastline near Lulworth Cove. And the village of Evershot, nine miles from the town of Dorchester. Evershot is a quintessential english 'chocolate box' village and was the setting for the 1996 film adaptation of Jane Austin's Novel 'Emma'
